Mumbai Indians to retire Sachin Tendulkar's Number 10 jersey

Reigning IPL and Champions League T20 champions, Mumbai Indians have announced that they will retire the Number 10 jersey in honour of Sachin Tendulkar.

Following his decision to quit T20 after Mumbai Indians won their maiden IPL trophy this year, Sachin declared that he would be quitting test cricket too after his 200th test in Mumbai next month.

“I think it was a befitting tribute to our ‘Master’ as we call him. Winning the IPL as well as the Champions League T20 in the same season is a great achievement. It’s a very emotional moment for us, and we have decided to retire his No. 10 jersey” DNA quoted team owner Nita Ambani.

Ajit Agarkar, Sachin’s former India team-mate said, “The practice of retiring a legend’s jersey is prevalent in the west. I don’t think it happens in cricket. Sachin is the right person to talk on this.”
